The last time we were over 420 ppm CO2 the average temperature over the entire earth was 20 degrees warmer. We are in dire straights. It's just all that ice both reflecting light and melting, which takes a huge amount of energy to go the last degree to above freezing that is holding back that increase. https://arctic-news.blogspot.com/
